Decision Management for CICSŪ: Optimizing CICS Infrastructure for Business Rules Execution - Lunch & Learn

Come to this lunch and learn about exciting new initiatives from IBM.  WebSphere® Operational Decision Manager (ODM) will allow you to externalize embedded business rule logic that executes within CICS so you can rapidly react to changes in your marketplace. It provides business agility with existing and new CICS applications so you can manage decision logic in a separate lifecycle from application code. WebSphere ODM can even take events directly from CICS to detect business patterns to facilitate timely decision-making, and it can improve operational efficiency and reduce total cost of ownership with its consistent decision evaluation across the enterprise. The latest release of CICS has a JVM™ server environment and WebSphere ODM takes advantage of this technology to offer local optimization. In this session, we'll also discuss the new CICS Developer Trial,  a no-charge, fully functional CICS for use in non-production environments. It lets you evaluate the value of a new release before committing resources and planning to the upgrade project. CICS has been with us for over 40 years now but this is not your father's CICS!
